The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Using 31-Bit Prefixes on IPv4 Point-to-Point Links' <draft-retana-31bits-03.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Randy Bush and Bert Wijnen. Technical Summary This document describes small changes to RFCs 1122, 1700, and 1812 which allow operators to halve the amount of address space assigned to point- to-point links by allowing the very limited use of 31-bit subnet masks. Working Group Summary There were no substantive technical comments during a four week IETF lass call. Protocol Quality The document was reviewed for the IESG by Randy Bush. Trial implementations have been promised from two vendors.
